fair enough.
however:
political discussions on this list *always* degenerate
into namecalling, foul language, and generally childish
behavior. if i felt that constructive political discussion
could happen on this list...i would consider it, however,
judging by some of the names that i've been called
today as a result of my post, we're not ready for that.
besides, i would hope that most of the members of
this list are conscious enough to see exactly
what is going on around them without someone else
screaming it at them. long, political diatribes sent to
a list comprised of people with (probably?) very similar
political views quickly becomes verbal masturbation.
lastly, whining about the world situation on a small email
list about music is, essentially, a waste of time.
if you believe in what you are spouting, don't sit around
here and preach to the choir...get out and do something
productive.
the list policies stand.
please email me privately with any comments or
questions.
